Thomas was nervous. He had managed to water the same plant for the third time now. Then given up in frustration and got the spade out of the shed. This endeavour lasted another five minutes until he figured out that he had forgotten what he wanted to do with the spade.

There had been too many bad news recently. Too many. He had a bad feeling about this too. If Jake was back, he would have known. Had they found traces of him? Was someone else gone? He could check the phone list. It would be so easy. But, really, he couldn't.

	He hadn't noticed JR approach. He had been too busy staring ahead and wrangling with the potential nightmare that was to follow. "Oh, eh, hey," Tom said and almost dropped the spade. He caught it just in time. Any thought of pleasantries like asking for his or Elyssa's well-being were forgotten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Here, let me take that." JR plucked the spade from his father's hand, not wanting the other man to swing it at him without thinking. He could see from the expression on Tom's face that drawing it out would just prolong the agony. "I've got bad news, pop. You'll want to sit down for this." He didn't want to tell him, he didn't want to believe it himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom looked around. He couldn't find anything to sit down. He didn't want to sit down. He wanted to know what it was and he didn't. "No, it's fine. Just tell me who vanished." He hoped he was wrong with his guess but he had already gone over the list of possible victims many times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's Rhiannon, and she didn't vanish." JR told him, watching him closely. "Someone killed her, a man. Adele saw it but couldn't catch him. She told Elyssa to tell me, I'm going to talk to her to get more information." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rhi. One of his youngest. His daughter. Killed. Tom took a deep breath. He mulled every word over and analysed every detail of it. "Killed..." He took a step back, eyes darting around in a search for nothing. "Killed." People did not kill people here. "Why? Where is he?" Why was he still free? He was a danger to everyone and everything.

Ok his father didn't take a swing at him. That was good.

JR tried to keep his voice even, to keep the emotion from overwhelming him when he wanted to scream and rage at the sky. "Yes, killed. I don't know why and I don't know who did it, but I'm going to find out and I'm going to kill the son of a bitch who murdered my sister."

He looked down at his phone. "That's Adele now, hopefully she'll have more information than she told Elyssa."

	He nodded. Nodded and waited. His mind was empty and full. He didn't what to think and thought everything at once. It wasn't real yet. He how it would go. Realisation would settle slowly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"She says she can show me. I just have to close my eyes." That was a little freaky but it would be better than just getting a description of what she saw, it would be if he were there.

He did as she asked and a flood of images entered his mind, showing him exactly what the murderer looked like.

"Oh god." JR groaned, putting one hand to his head and swaying on his feet. It wasn't so much the images, he'd seen far worse during the war. It was more that he was looking at his sister's murderer and having the unfamiliar sensation of having the new information pushed into his mind.

	Hours had passed until JR spoke again. Okay, maybe not quiet but it had felt like that for Tom. His heart immediately began to race again. "Yeah, what's she..." He stopped when JR's eyes looked absent for a moment. "What did she show you?" Who was it? What had that man done? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"She showed me what she saw." Though he noted she'd quite obviously chosen not to show him his sister's body, something he already was conflicted over. But introspection could wait for later.

"She showed me everything she knows about the son of a bitch." He smiled, but it wasn't a pleasant expression and his eyes were very cold. "And I'm going to nail his ass so hard he'll wish he was never born before he dies."
